further ado, here's our fourth nomination.<br><br><b>Nomination No.4<br>Kevin Locke (New Zealand Warriors) – Round 16</b><br><br><a href="http://www.nrl.com/GameanalyserVideo/tabId/10910/Default.aspx?seasonID=240?seasonid=240&amp;roundid=852&amp;fixtureid=50020101606&amp;videoquality=1&amp;type=try&amp;period=2&amp;time=2439"><b>CLICK HERE to see Locke put his body on the line.</b></a><br><br>
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/nationalrugbyleague"><b>CLICK HERE to 'LIKE' this try on Facebook now. </b></a><br><br>Four points down with 45 seconds left to play and you’ve just received the ball in the middle of a flooded field (so much so that you can barely see the lines). Oh, by the way, you’ve got one tackle left. What do you do? If you’re Lance Hohaia, you look for the quickest bloke on the field. <br><br>Up pops flyer Kevin Locke, and all of a sudden you dribble the ball just behind the defensive line. Locke easily beats everyone to the ball and toes it ahead towards the posts. <br><br>From there it’s a foot race between him and about six other Chooks to the footy. Out of nowhere comes Roosters speedster Phil Graham and the two of you dive for the ball. Again, it’s our duty to remind you: the footy posts are in sight. But neither player cares. <br><br>In an act of pure courage, Locke gets to the ball first, but as the two of them slide over the tryline, the winger’s fragile frame slams into the left-hand upright at speed, resulting in his lower body going to one side of the post, and his upper body (with ball in hand) on the other. Goalkicker James Maloney converts, Warriors win, but Locke is stretchered off and is out for the next three weeks with a hip injury. <br><br><a href="http://www.nrl.com/GameanalyserVideo/tabId/10910/Default.aspx?seasonID=240?seasonid=240&amp;roundid=852&amp;fixtureid=50020101606&amp;videoquality=1&amp;type=try&amp;period=2&amp;time=2439"><b>CLICK HERE to see Locke put his body on the line.</b></a><br><a href="http://www.facebook.com/nationalrugbyleague"><b><br>CLICK HERE to 'LIKE' this try on Facebook now. </b></a><br><br>Missed our first nomination? <a href="http://www.nrl.com/news/news/newsarticle/tabid/10874/newsid/60208/try-of-the-year-nomination-no1/default.aspx">Click here to see Nathan Gardner's solo effort.</a><br><br>Missed our second nomination? <a href="http://www.nrl.com/news/news/newsarticle/tabid/10874/newsid/60226/try-of-the-year-nomination-no2/default.aspx">Click here to see Akuila Uate's try from a kick-off.</a><br><br>Missed our third nomination? <a href="http://www.nrl.com/news/news/newsarticle/tabid/10874/newsid/60252/try-of-the-year-nomination-no3/default.aspx">Click here to see Simon Mannering's team try.</a><br>
